Creamy Curry Apple Pecan Chicken Salad

Let me just say I love curry! All the used and unique ways of making it or adding flavour to a dish are so amazing! Who would have though apples and curry would go well together? The sweet crispy apples pared with crunch pecans, savoury chicken and a creamy curry sauce - fantastic. I would definitely put it on my top 5 crowd pleasers, its so easy to make and a great pot luck dish sure to please :)
